This approach recognizes that our experiences are shaped not only by personal history, but also by broader systems such as race, gender, sexuality, culture, and power. Therapy becomes a space to explore how oppression, marginalization, and societal expectations impact your identity, relationships, and sense of self—without pathologizing your responses. Together, we make space for your lived experience, challenge internalized narratives, and support ways of relating that feel more aligned, authentic, and liberating. This work centers autonomy, dignity, and the right to exist fully as you are.

Attachment-based therapy explores how your early and ongoing relationships shape the way you connect, trust, and respond to closeness or distance. These patterns—often outside of awareness—can show up in how you navigate intimacy, conflict, vulnerability, and independence. Together, we begin to identify your attachment style and the protective strategies that developed over time, while creating new experiences of safety and responsiveness within the therapeutic relationship. This work supports more secure, flexible, and fulfilling connections with yourself and others.

EFT is grounded in attachment theory and focuses on the emotional patterns that shape how we connect in relationships. When disconnection happens, it often shows up in cycles—pursuing, withdrawing, shutting down, or escalating. Together, we slow these moments down to better understand the underlying emotions and needs driving them. By bringing awareness and new ways of responding, we work toward creating more secure, responsive, and emotionally attuned connections. This approach supports individuals and partners in feeling seen, understood, and more safely connected.

IFS understands the mind as made up of different “parts,” each with its own role, history, and intention. Some parts may protect, avoid, or react strongly, while others hold pain, vulnerability, or unmet needs. Rather than trying to change or silence these parts, we build a relationship with them—approaching each with curiosity and compassion. As we access a more grounded, centered sense of self, these parts can begin to soften, trust, and shift, supporting greater internal harmony, emotional regulation, and choicefulness in how you respond to your life.

Narrative therapy explores the stories you’ve come to hold about yourself, your relationships, and your place in the world. These stories are often shaped by past experiences, cultural messages, and internalized beliefs, and can sometimes feel limiting or fixed. Together, we begin to gently question and expand these narratives—separating you from the problem and making space for alternative ways of understanding yourself. This process supports a more flexible, empowered sense of identity, where you are not defined by a single story but have room to author new meanings and possibilities.

Polyvagal-informed therapy focuses on the nervous system and how your body responds to safety, stress, and connection. You may notice patterns such as anxiety, shutdown, overwhelm, or difficulty staying present—these are not failures, but adaptive responses. Together, we begin to track and understand these states, while developing tools to support regulation and flexibility. This might include working with breath, sensation, movement, and awareness. Over time, this work helps expand your capacity to feel grounded, connected, and more at ease in your body and relationships.

Trauma-informed therapy centers safety, collaboration, and respect for your pace. We work with an understanding of how past experiences—whether acute or ongoing—can shape the nervous system, sense of self, and relational patterns. This approach does not require you to retell or relive experiences before you’re ready. Instead, we focus on building stability, awareness, and internal resources, allowing healing to unfold in a way that feels supported and sustainable. The goal is to restore a sense of agency, trust in yourself, and the ability to move through your life with more ease and presence.
